/ Telegram airdrops, while popular, often breed scams. Many projects lure users with "free tokens" only to phish private keys or demand fees, exploiting naive participants.

2/ Oversaturation from airdrops floods markets with tokens, diluting value and harming existing holders. Projects prioritizing hype over utility destabilize ecosystems.

3/ Developers of low-quality Telegram mini-apps (e.g., tap-to-earn games) focus on short-term user acquisition, not sustainable value. This creates distrust and market chaos.

4/ Massive airdrops like DOGS strain blockchain infrastructure (e.g., TON) and exchanges, causing congestion and delays, highlighting poor planning.

5/ Many Telegram airdrops reward minimal effort, attracting freeloaders who dump tokens, crashing prices and hurting genuine investors.

6/ Lack of regulation enables shady developers to launch unverified projects, risking user funds and tarnishing Telegram’s reputation as a crypto hub.7/ The focus on quick profits via airdrops shifts dev priorities away from building robust, innovative blockchain solutions, stunting long-term growth.
